Does Parasite Testing Need Fasting?
Doctor, I recently got itchy, I heard it may be due to a parasite infection so I want to go for a test. I want to ask if parasite testing requires fasting or not? If I have to fast, I can test for the earliest time, because I often have low blood sugar if I don't eat breakfast.

Substances that are absorbed in the blood after a while will be metabolized, used or stored by the body cells, those not absorbed will be excreted in faeces or urine The metabolism and elimination times of different substances will vary, so fasting time also varies by type of test.

Parasite test is a test to look for parasites inside or outside the body. There are many types of tests that can find parasites, such as stool microscopy for eggs, larvae, or adult parasites, blood tests, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound to look for tissue parasites, tissue biopsies … .. Depending on the type of parasite and the period of the disease, appropriate testing is needed. You need to see your doctor for a checkup and counseling to know what kind of tests you need to conduct. If it is not a blood test then you do not need to fast.
. If you are assigned a blood test to look for parasites, then you do not need to fast because this test looks for antibodies to the parasite in the blood of an infected person. Antibodies are a substance produced by the body, and food and water are not able to change antibody levels in the bloodIn fact, all human activities affect the concentration of substances in the blood, not just eating and drinking. For example, if an athlete does a workout before he gets tested, his results will vary greatly. The interpretation and interpretation of test results must therefore be performed by an experienced professional in order to be accurate. Therefore, if the patient missed eating or drinking, it is not too worry, just inform the doctor, so that the doctor can have a reasonable solution. Does parasite testing need fasting?
